Chapter 79
Can Mr. Jiang visit the set again?
Xiao Zhao didn't dare to delay and rushed outside with his phone in hand.
I remembered what Sister Weiran said halfway through the run.
"The more critical the moment, the more important it is to focus on filming. If President Jiang is really replaced, he will have to rely entirely on himself for future resources."
Xiao Zhao had a sudden inspiration. He kept running, but changed direction, explaining as he ran.
"President Jiang, the filming location is a bit far, I'll run there right now."
In reality, he ran around the set three times like a madman. He only rushed over and handed the phone to Chi Yuan after the director yelled "Cut."
"General Manager Jiang."
Just two words were enough to change the expressions of the two people present.
Yan Chuan, who had already turned away, suddenly turned back.
Chi Yuan stood there, pale and stunned.
He didn't actually want to receive a call from Mr. Jiang or Assistant Chen at this time, because a sugar daddy wouldn't proactively explain things to his mistress. There was only one reason why they would call at this moment.
That reason was not what he wanted to hear.
The first time Chi Yuan received a call from Mr. Jiang, he couldn't say a word.
"Chi Yuan?"
Unfortunately, when Jiang Haochen's voice came from the other end of the phone, Chi Yuan still responded instinctively.
"Mr. Jiang." Just those three words brought tears to Chi Yuan's eyes.
At this moment, Chi Yuan was still wearing the armor of a young general. The invincible young man in the drama was as fragile as a glass doll at this moment.
Yan Chuan felt a sudden pang in his heart, perhaps because he was still in the character he was supposed to be. He instinctively took half a step forward, but Chi Yuan was faster and turned away first.
By the time Xiao Zhao had run his third lap, Jiang Haochen's inexplicable anger had already subsided by half. Upon hearing the boy's pitiful address, the last half of his anger vanished.
Actually, Chi Won didn't do anything wrong; he just had his manager come over and ask a question.
"you……"
"you……"
The two spoke almost simultaneously, and then stopped at the same time.
"Mr. Jiang, is there something you want to tell me?" Chi Yuan had already returned to his tent, his fists clenched tightly, his nails digging into his flesh, but he felt no pain.
He used almost all his strength to keep his voice from trembling.
Chi Yuan, even if we have to part ways, don't let Mr. Jiang hate you.
"What do you want me to tell you?" Jiang Haochen disliked Chi Yuan's way of speaking. "Or do you already have the answer in mind before I even open my mouth?"
Is Mr. Jiang angry?
Chi Yuan: "I'm sorry."
Almost instinctively, an apology came out.
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Haochen's face instantly darkened. If he was still wondering whether Li Weiran's words were at Chi Yuan's behest, then this apology was the boy's tacit agreement.
"President Jiang, there's a document here..."
Just then, Assistant Chen pushed the door open and entered, holding a document that Jiang Haochen needed to sign. However, the moment his eyes met those of his boss, he immediately retreated at three times the speed.
Jiang Haochen calmed down after being interrupted by Assistant Chen.
Across from Tianyu's building is B City's most bustling commercial district. His office faces that area, where there is a huge GG sign that plays GG logos of the brands in the mall on a rotating basis.
Just then, the show aired on GH's "GG," featuring a young man wearing a clean white shirt who was smiling and looking at him.
It seemed that every time he looked into the boy's eyes, he couldn't help but soften: "Chi Yuan, I've said it before, no matter what it is, as long as you tell me in advance, I won't be angry. But I want you to tell me in advance yourself, understand?"
Chi Yuan: "Mm."
Jiang Haochen: "Is there anything you want to tell me now?"
Chi Yuan hesitated for a long time on the other end of the phone before cautiously asking, "Aren't you angry no matter what I say?"
Jiang Haochen: "Mm."
Although it's difficult to find another lover as compatible as Chi Yuan, such things should be based on mutual consent.
The breathing on the other end of the phone suddenly became rapid, and after a long while, Chi Yuan's voice finally came through: "Mr. Jiang, our contract still has a year and a half left."
Jiang Haochen tightened his grip on his phone, thinking to himself, "As expected," but he wouldn't go back on his word.
"Um."
Chi Yuan pleaded softly, "Could you... not terminate the contract prematurely?"
"Um?"
It took Jiang Haochen a while to realize the meaning behind Chi Yuan's words.
Chi Yuan meant that he didn't want the contract terminated?
However, his questioning "Hmm?" sounded like an interrogation and impatience to Chi Yuan.
The last trace of color drained from Chi Yuan's face: "It's okay, I'm just..."
He just couldn't bring himself to say those four words, no matter how casually you asked.
Just as he mustered up the courage to finish speaking, Jiang Haochen finally realized what was happening.
Could it be that Li Weiran came to ask him today not because Chi Yuan wanted to terminate the contract with him in advance, but because Chi Yuan misunderstood and thought that she wanted to terminate the contract with him in advance?
"Okay." Jiang Haochen's tone was quick and firm.
"Is that okay?" Chi Yuan almost thought he had misheard.
A burst of cheerful laughter came through the phone.
Jiang Haochen sighed, "So you had Li Weiran come to ask me because you're worried I'll terminate the contract with you early?"
Chi Yuan was unaware that Li Weiran had gone to see Jiang Haochen, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, Jiang Haochen didn't dwell on the details.
Since the topic had come up, Jiang Haochen took the opportunity to explain: "The trending topic online is fake. That high school student is Lin Yue. He has a drama that's currently airing, the one you also starred in. Cui Dong asked me to help promote it, saying he wanted to keep the trending topic up for a while so he could get some traffic. I thought you don't have many works, and if this drama is affected because of Lin Yue, your exposure will also be affected, so I agreed. I didn't expect you to misunderstand and think I wanted to terminate the contract early."
Chi Yuan: "Is it because of me... that you didn't plan to terminate the contract early?"
Jiang Haochen gave the young man a definite answer: "No, I have no intention of terminating the contract early. If one day I do decide to terminate the contract early, I definitely won't let you know from the trending topics. I will tell you myself, or have Assistant Chen tell you, understand?"
Chi Yuan's eyes regained their sparkle: "Understood."
Jiang Haochen: "Chi Yuan, I've told you before, I really like your body. Do you know what that means?"
Chi Yuan didn't know, so he answered truthfully, "I don't know."
Jiang Haochen: "I really like you. Even if you're a little greedy and willful, and want more resources than specified in the contract, I will still satisfy you."
What if I don't want you to only like my body?
Jiang Haochen: "Do you understand?"
Chi Yuan: "Understood."
Jiang Haochen smiled and offered a suggestion: "Now is the time for you to take the opportunity to ask for something. Is there anything you want?"
Chi Yuan: "Mr. Jiang, could you come visit the set again?"
